  • Abstract
    Measurements of the drift-tube response to charged particle tracks are compared with a complete simulation. The measured resolution of typically 80 μm agrees well with the simulation and allows the individual factors limiting the resolution such as diffusion, charge deposit fluctuations, gas gain fluctuations and signal processing to be studied. The results with respect to the dependence of the drift chamber resolution on gas gain, gas pressure and electronics parameters are reported.
